Description

My instance Redmine was gradually upgraded from 0.7 and older.
When I upgrade to ruby-1.9.3, some projects issues list crashes with 'incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT'.

The trouble be found in CustomField: Browser (type: list)
In DB possible_values was serialized as:

    - !binary |
       0J3QtSDQvtC/0YDQtdC00LXQu9C10L0=

and deserialized into string with #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>.

Solution:

    $> script/console production
    c = CustomField.find(5)
    c.possible_values.each {|i| i.force_encoding('UTF-8')}
    c.save

Now, value serialized as: 

- "\xD0\x9D\xD0\xB5 \xD0\xBE\xD0\xBF\xD1\x80\xD0\xB5\xD0\xB4\xD0\xB5\xD0\xBB\xD0\xB5\xD0\xBD"

and work fine!
